Rollerblade Maxxum 90 Inline Skates

For the money you can't get a better skate. Smooth rolling and FAST. Just took my first skate of with the intention of breaking them in. Ended up doing 8 miles, no break in necessary. I love the adjustable frame, it helps tremendously with push off efficiency! They were a bit difficult to get my foot into until I figured out you need to undo both straps completely as well as loosen the laces quite a bit. They take a few minutes to get on properly but once they're on your feel they're pure comfort. No hot spots, even on my ankle. They're easily as comfortable as my K2 Vo2 90 BOA's and slightly faster. Easier to keep at speed as well. I HIGHLY recommend these at retail price; these being $100 off is a huge bonus!!!Hide

I just got these today, at first they were uncomfortable because it was squeezing my feet. It wasn’t because of the the sizing but because of my wide feet. Due to my wide feet I needed more room so I removed the laces and shock absorbers. Good thing I did because it was wonderful after . Would recommend doing that if you have wide feetHide

I just skate for fitness purposes, but wanted the experience to be as fun as possible. Researching inline skates was a bit overwhelming at first, so I scoured the internet for reviews. This model, along with 3-4 others kept popping up. I didnt understand why some models cost $100 and others cost $350+. But I chose these because of their speed and agility. And dang, I'm glad I got them.

In my 30's now, I took a 20-ish year hiatus from inline skates, then picked it back up a few years ago when I came across a bargain on some used Nike's. I decided to upgrade from those older skates after a strap broke off, and was deemed irreplaceable. Plus, Nike got out the inline segment years ago; finding replacement parts is virtually impossible. Ive always been a big believer in having fun while exercising I took a risk on these Maxxum 90's. It was like upgrading from an iPhone 5 to an iPhone X! These skates are incredible!

I'm 6-1, 180 pounds. Normally wear a size 12 tennis shoes; bought the skates in 12.5. My first skate on these was painful in some spots, but then I realized I didnt have the tongue pushed all the way into the boot. Plus these skates have fancy and VERY sturdy latchet straps that can cut off your circulation if you want them to. I think I had them ratcheted too tight. My second skate I took a little more time putting them on, made sure the tongue was all the way in, and gave myself a little breathing room with the straps. The 2nd skate was the MOST FUN SKATE Ive ever experienced! I was zig-zagging on the concrete like an ice skater on a freshly zambonie-d surface.

Yes the skates are fast, but not so fast that I felt scared. They were totally worth the extra money. They are super well made, and will last a very long time. The boot is pretty comfortable, but I'm not prone to foot pain. I have an average-to-narrow width foot. I would definitely upsize 0.5-1.0 sizes. Even if they are a tad too big, the straps will keep your feet rock solid if you want them to. The skates roll very quiet and smooth. The thing that surprised me the most was how easily and quickly I could turn; the edges are as sharp as hockey skates. Also, upgrading from old worn down Nike skates to these top of the line Rollerblades, I didnt really know what to expect. But I am so glad I took the risk. And save yourself some money, buy last year's model. All the specs, bearings, wheels, plastic mold, are exactly the same from year to year (at least in my many hours of research). Save $100+ right off the top.

Happy skating!
